[A situational psychological look at epileptic seizures].
Seven cases who developed paroxysm during adolescence and/or in a special situation were selected and subjected for studies of the existing pattern of the patients and also of the paroxysmal situation in relation to their individual life history. (1) "Schlafepilepsie" and psychomotor seizure were identified as being the pattern of epilepsy that developed exceedingly in a situational dependent fashion. (2) An intensive linkage between the patients and their parents was observed. (3) A forced separation from their parents allows to radicalize their conflicts. (4) Their existence is compounded further by the situation where their intrinsic order is compelled to change, and control of themselves becomes difficult to maintain. (5) This process permits the revelation of a latent process of epilepsy.
